Hi everyone, I made this (open-source) app when setting up my own server for self-hosting apps and websites.

Because I couldn't find a reliable, simple and free solution for something I actually wanted: lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics without cookies, banners or handing my visitors over to a third party.

Feel free to have a look, and I'd love to hear what you think if you've got any feedback!

Hi everyone, I made this (open-source) app when setting up my own server for self-hosting apps and databases. Because I couldn't find a simple and free solution for something important: easy automated backups and restores of databases and folders.

Feel free to have a look, and I'd love to hear what you think if you've got any feedback!

I second this. The tsx library is zero config and always "just works" in my experience, which puts it miles ahead of ts-node, imo.

Is Sketch subscription only? I had it on my list to purchase because I thought they offered a perpetual license.

But you're right, now that I'm reading the FAQ on their pricing page, I'm finding it really confusing:

"""

Q: Is Sketch only available as a subscription?

A: No. You can still get a Mac-only license for $120 yearly [sic] if you don’t need the web app and only want to use the Mac app to design. (...)

"""

Their answer seems rather contradictory. Does anybody know whether they offer perpetual licenses or not? Or know of a competitor who does?

This is pretty good!

I've been trying to have the free GPT-3.5 explain me things, but the results were a bit mixed (I caught it making a few things up earlier). But I might give GPT-4 a try, thanks!

Thanks!

I'm definitely going to have a look at some of the resources from your blog post.

With regards to the standard documentation: I notice that I'm able to read the sentences, but I'm finding it a bit difficult to really turn it into a working project I actually understand.

(For instance: the docs give an example of how bind to a socket address, but I'm not sure how to morph this into a simple echo server, for example, which writes back whatever I sent to it. Feels a bit like I might be missing some general information about TCP and how to test it, how it relates to HTTP, etc.)

That's a really good point!

It came about this way because I have the ad-free YouTube subscription myself, forgetting about the many people who don't have it, and would be plagued by ads like you say.

I'll be looking for a way to allow listening to the intervals right on the page soon, thank you!
